The dweller festival in New York has announced its line-up for its 2024 festival, which will take place from February 20th-25th across various venues in the city. This year marks the festival’s fifth anniversary, and it will showcase Black DJs and producers from across the globe. The line-up includes DJ Stingray 313, Actress, Theo Parrish, Colored Craig, Josey Rebelle, DJ Lag, Robert Hood, and Rroxymore, along with many UK talents such as Coki, Niks, Tim Reaper, and Batu. Local New York talent such as Galcher Lustwerk, Kilopatrah Jones, Kush Jones, Livwutang, Swami Sound, and quest?onmarq will also feature.
dweller first began in 2019 as an event series, festival, and blog that focused on Black perspectives in electronic music. Its goal is to be a “Black lighthouse; a siren in the storm for those who know the isolating whitewaters of electronic all too well,” according to its blog. dweller’s line-up featuring all-Black talent at Berghain’s Panorama Bar in Berlin last year was such a success that they were mustering up for another event until it was confirmed the festival was cancelled again due to the Strike Germany campaign. The campaign supports the protection of artistic freedom, fighting against anti-semitism, and combatting structural racism.
Since then, dweller has expanded beyond New York and into Europe and has confirmed a film collection featuring the Black origins of dance music to be streamed on The Criterion Channel throughout February. Find tickets for dweller festival 2024 on their website
